trading can be expensive!!

i went to the post office today to mail out about 9 packages for trades. ended up costing me $54.35 for shipping  

and how does a 1 pound box of sculpey, wrapped in a plastic bag and stuffed into a slightly larger box, end up weighing 2.5 pounds??

Did you ship via Priority Mail?  If you did it shouldn't have been more than $3.85 for the box.  But, you did ship 9 boxes so about $50 sounds right.

yeah i shipped everything out via priority with delivery confirmation, always do. but when she put the box with the sculpey in it on the scale, it read "2.5 lbs" and i just don't get it. the only thing in the box was a 1 pound box of sculpey

Hopefully you questioned it with the manager then, because those boxes don't weigh 1.5 pounds.  Sounds like you might have been messed with.
